Poor Logan hasn't had much representation in the sewing room of late, but he really needs some warm weather gear, so I started off with a couple of quick long sleeve tees to get his winter wardrobe going.
Pardon the yoghurt stains on the black tee. He wore it before I could get a picture - before I even hemmed it, in fact.
I think he likes it. The applique design is based on an illustration from one of his favorite books,
I Love Trucks. I let him pick which truck to put on his shirt. I think that this one will get a lot of wear. I managed to stretch out the neckline while sewing it. I've been having a lot of trouble with binding knits lately! It recovered well during the day, though, so I think it will be fine. I did think the neckline was a bit large, so I raised it on the green stripe shirt.
While I was working on these shirts, tragedy struck in my sewing room. I hauled out all of my tracing materials to get this pattern ready. As I unrolled my soil separator paper (which is what I use to
trace patterns), I came to the end of the roll! I knew it was coming soon, but I thought I had a few yards left. Oh well - off to Lowe's to get some more - only to discover that Lowe's no longer carries it!!! In fact, the isn't any available in this whole freaking town!! Oh no!! So, I'm going to have to order some off the internet, which means waiting for shipping during the Christmas season. Which means I won't be able to trace off any patterns in the interim. So, if there isn't much going on here, you know why...
